Meghalaya 5-Day Itinerary

Five days is ideal for a focused Meghalaya loop covering the state's headline sights without rushing.

Days 1–2: Shillong

Arrive from Guwahati, settle in Shillong, and explore Umiam Lake, viewpoints and the lively markets.

Days 3–4: Cherrapunji & Dawki

Head south for Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai cave and, if time and fitness allow, a root-bridge trek; then the crystal Umngot river at Dawki and Mawlynnong village.

Day 5: Return

A relaxed drive back to Guwahati for onward departure.

  • 5 nights from Guwahati
  • Shillong base + Cherrapunji + Dawki
  • Optional root-bridge trek
  • Great for first-timers

We'll tailor and cost this route at net rates for your clients.
